Chapter 392 Straight-skirted robe and kimono

 This is a serious statement. If it were an ordinary little girl, she would probably be scolded and cry.

But who is Cen Li? She has enough confidence, because she clearly knows that this girl is wearing Hanfu, not a kimono.

So, with a cold face, she said very calmly, "I can testify that she is wearing Hanfu, not a kimono."

"Why can you testify? We have never heard of any other Hanfu." Upon hearing this, several young men and women immediately responded with dissatisfaction.

After hearing this, Cen Li immediately knew that the opportunity had come.

Her face suddenly became serious and she said loudly, "Then answer me, are you Han?"

Suddenly being questioned sternly like this, several young men and women were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted.

He said with certainty, "We are all Han Chinese, only she is from a minority ethnic group."

"Okay, then may I ask, which ethnic group are you from?" Cen Li looked at the young woman from the ethnic minority and asked.

"From the Dai ethnic group." The young Dai woman replied.

Cen Li nodded and continued, "Do you all wear your Dai's unique costumes during special festivals?"

The young Dai woman was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

Hearing this, other young men and women became a little impatient, "What does this have to do with the current affairs?"

Cen Li said seriously, "Of course it does matter. I want to ask you, as a Han nationality, do you have special clothes to wear during special festivals?"

"I..."

Hearing this, several young men and women present were stunned.

Not only them, but also the Han people who were watching were stunned for a moment.

Their special costumes?

Do Han people have special clothing?

"Do you know what the problem is now?"

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Cen Li held the hand of the girl in Hanfu and said to everyone, "The girl standing in front of you now is wearing Hanfu, which is a traditional costume of the Han people and an ancestor of the Han people.

The legacy left behind is not the kimono!"

"But... it's exactly the same as a kimono." One of the young men said unconvinced.

"Where did you see that they are exactly the same?" Cen Li was so angry that she laughed.

"Look at the collar and the belt in the middle. Aren't they exactly the same?" the young man said with confidence.

"Okay, since you said that, let's have a good talk."

Cen Li took a deep breath and said, "First of all, this dress is called a Zhijing robe. It is a very typical style in Hanfu. Two plain gauze robes were unearthed in the No. 1 Han Tomb in Mawangdui, Changsha. One of them is a Zhijing robe.

, if you don’t believe it, you can go back and check it out.”

"As for the difference, first of all, the collar of the zhijing robe is flat against the body, while the collar of the kimono is turned back and outwards to expose the neck.

Secondly, there are no small pillows or bows on the back of the straight robe, which is a very obvious difference.

Finally, the sleeves of the zhijing robe are narrower and flat rectangular, while the sleeves of the kimono are large and wide and vertical rectangular."

"So, take a closer look, are the two really similar?" Cen Li's words were well-founded and convinced everyone present.

Even those young men and women had nothing to say.

"I would like to make a special statement here. As we all know, Country R came to our country to study, and they borrowed many things from our country, including their clothing. To put it bluntly, their kimonos are like our Hanfu.

That’s right.”
